Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I’m so glad you are here!

I am so excited to have mother to be Codey on the blog today. She and her husband are the parents to be of a very special young man that will be named Ryder Charles. I always enjoy how parents come up with their baby names. She said this was the only name her husband did not shoot down. Ryder and his daddy will share the middle name Charles. Voilà the creation of the perfect name!

Mom and Dad live in Ohio and were in town for a family baby shower. The weather for their session was “unique” and pretty miserable honestly but with them living out of town, we had zero wiggle room to reschedule their session. You see it was super dark, freezing, snowing really hard to turning into rain, to a light snow, to heavy snow/rain again. Mother Nature could not make up her mind what she wanted to do. Oh did I mention it was freezing? Poor momma Codey was in a short-sleeved dress but she honestly thought it felt pretty decent. Oh how moms to be run hot blooded in their third trimester. Her husband and I froze but the things we will do to capture the perfect images.

Codey has had a relatively smooth pregnancy. She said she could not have asked for a better pregnancy which is fantastic especially for first time mommas. She definitely had that mom to be glow. She did mention that she is pretty tired and pretty much wants to sleep every chance she could get. Girl you and me both!

I got to hear all about Ryder’s nursery. He will be living it up in a super cute gray and green nursery with woodland accents. I’m pretty sure If I were to have a baby boy right now, mine would look the same! I love the woodland theme.

Rawson’s thank you so much for braving the horrible weather and for letting me capture this exciting time in your lives. I cannot wait to hear all about Ryder!
